Tongdao Xu and Ge Lianghua went downstairs from Dongyang. When they came to the cashier to check out, they looked at the rain curtain outside the door. It was raining heavily. The rain tonight came quickly, from light rain to heavy rain in just a few minutes.
time.
They were in the private room upstairs before and when they saw it starting to rain outside the window, they saw only light raindrops. The three of them didn't pay attention to it. The light rain was considered a sunny day! What a grown man would care about a little rain?
result……
A few minutes later, when it suddenly started to rain heavily, they tried to leave again, but it was obviously too late.
At that time, Ge Lianghua said: "Damn it! Oh no, it's raining so heavily and we don't even have an umbrella. How are we going to get back soon? By the time we go out and get in the car, we're going to be soaked, right?"
At that time, Xi Dongyang also frowned and said: "The rain is too heavy..."
Tongdao Xu said calmly at that time: "It's okay. The heavy rain won't last long. It comes and goes quickly. It should light up in a while. Let's continue eating! Let's drink for a while. I guarantee that the rain will light up in a while.
Already."
When he said this, Tongdao Xu's tone was very firm.
Because this is the experience he has accumulated over many years, which is the wisdom of life.
However, they drank in the private room for more than an hour. Although the wine was not finished, the dishes were all finished, and the dishes were replenished twice. But the trick was - the rain outside did not get lighter at all.
trend.
The slap in the face came so suddenly.
He had no choice but to call Zeng Xueyi and ask her if she had time to drive to pick them up. Unfortunately, Zeng Xueyi had to stay at home with her daughter, so she regretfully told him - no.
Others?
Among the people close to Comrade Xu, except for Ge Lianghua, who had a van that he gave Ge Lianghua to use, who else had a car?
And Ge Lianghua?
Let's drink with him tonight!
Speechless and helpless, the three of them didn't want to wait any longer in that box and unanimously agreed to go downstairs and leave.
At this time, after paying the bill, Xu Tongdao asked the woman at the checkout counter with the attitude of giving it a try, "Madam boss! It's raining heavily outside, can you lend us two umbrellas?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Comrade Xu saw an apologetic smile on the face of the landlady. He quickly added: "You can also sell two handfuls to us. How much does it cost? You tell me!"
Unfortunately, the lady boss's apologetic smile did not change at all, "Sorry! We didn't expect it to rain tonight, and we don't know how to get home soon! There are really no umbrellas in the store."
Ge Lianghua became impatient, "Forget it! Let's just leave like this! At worst, we can go back and take a shower and change clothes!"
With that said, he strode out of the door and rushed into the rain outside.
Xi Dongyang's job was to protect Xu Tongdao's safety. At this time, he did not follow Xu Tongdao out, but looked at Xu Tongdao.
Comrade Xu smiled bitterly, "Let's go! I hope there is a convenience store selling umbrellas nearby."
With that said, he also strode into the rain curtain outside.
Xi Dongyang smiled silently and followed him out.
Tongdao Xu's car was parked not far outside the door, but they had all drank a lot tonight, and no one could drive. They could only stagger along the road, Ximen Road Internet Cafe No. 15, which was under renovation.
, but it's nearby.
But there was no bed there, no quilts, towels or anything like that.
At this time, it is naturally not suitable to go there.
What are you going to do?
You will be soaked before you get there. By then, you will be soaked. There is no point in hiding there.
Because of the heavy rain, not even a single taxi was empty on the street.
Occasionally, I saw a taxi passing by in a hurry. It was obviously full of passengers.
But just walking back to your place like this?
That's too far.
Not to mention that Comrade Xu and the others were not willing to walk that far in the heavy rain. Even if they were willing, they wouldn't be able to walk that far with the amount of alcohol they drank tonight.
I can only find a hotel nearby.
Fortunately, this is near the No. 7 Middle School, and there is a hotel not far away.
The three of them came here in the heavy rain and opened three rooms.
The first thing you do when you enter the room is take a shower.
Although there is no change of clothes, at least there is a bed and a quilt.
I hope my soaked clothes will be dry tomorrow morning.
When Comrade Xu took a shower, he washed all the clothes and hung them to dry by the window. He turned on the electric fan to blow on the clothes.
This rain... the temperature has dropped a lot.
Go to bed, take a rest, and turn on the TV in the room. Comrade Xu leaned on the head of the bed a little drowsily, watching the TV with his eyes half-opened.
I want to sleep but don't want to sleep.
He could only sleep here tonight due to the rain. He was still a little cold. He couldn't help but think of Zeng Xueyi, thinking that she would be with her daughter tonight and couldn't drive to pick him up.
He could understand her in his heart, but he still felt a little empty.
He realized that as long as he stayed with Zeng Xueyi, he would probably encounter this kind of thing frequently in the future.
She won the lawsuit for custody of her daughter, and the focus of her life naturally shifted to her daughter. He, Comrade Xu, would always come second to her daughter.
Today is just the beginning.
There will definitely be a second, third, and Nth time later.
No!
In fact, today is not the first time.
Since her daughter came back to her, he has never slept a night with her again.
Her reason was too much for him to refute - she didn't want her daughter to see him living with her.
so……
Her daughter is his love rival, a love rival that he can never defeat.
As he thought about it, he suddenly laughed to himself.
I laugh at myself for arguing with that little girl, and I laugh at myself for falling into such a situation.
The cell phone placed on the bedside table suddenly rang.
Attracting his gaze, was it she who sent me an apology?
Comrade Xu flashed Zeng Xueyi's face in his mind, smiled, moved his body, reached out and took the phone into his hand, and took a look...
But I found out that the message was from Dong Feifei.
--"What are you doing?"
Comrade Xu smiled helplessly and replied: "What are you doing?"
After a while, Dong Feifei replied: "I'm in your dormitory! I thought you would come back to stay tonight, but until now, I haven't seen you yet."
In my dormitory?
Tongdao Xu was a little surprised, thought about it, and dialed her number.
The call was answered quickly.
"Are you in my dormitory? When did you go? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I can't go back tonight."
As soon as the phone call came through, Comrade Xu spoke like this first.
"Ah? You can't come back tonight? This...you..."
On the phone, Dong Feifei must have been overthinking it, maybe she thought he was with another woman tonight!
If she had such a misunderstanding before today, Xu Tongdao might not explain it and just let her misunderstanding go! Anyway, he had no intention of staying with her for a long time.
But at this moment, in this place and this scene, he felt a little lonely, "It's raining heavily outside. I had a few more drinks with my cousin and others tonight. I couldn't drive, and I didn't have an umbrella, so I had to find a hotel nearby."
, I checked into a few rooms, and my clothes were soaked through just now, so I didn’t even want to go back.”
Dong Feifei on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Which hotel are you in? Are you living alone now?"
